Abstract excerpt
To investigate the underlying mechanisms for leptin receptor (LEPR)-mediated regulation of leptin gene (Lep) expression in brown (BAT) and white (WAT) adipose tissue and resultant effects on plasma leptin concentrations (plasma-LEP), we examined effects of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity, caloric balance, and body fat content on leptin mRNA levels in BAT and WAT in 10-day-old rat pups segregating for...
